The information is not hidden, it is there. In the typedef. So you should
say "Show me a student that wants to have an easily readable form of the
function" and the picture changes. *I* personally don't care as I find lisp
much easier to read :p No seriously, the information is not hidden, and
using typedefs leaves your own functions which accept or return function-
pointers much clearer _imo_.
